[ The video feed cuts on to show a very irritated looking girl. She seems to be in her late teens, and her thick lips are pursed tightly. The look might be a slightly familiar one for some residents, or ones that have seen the other Hale around. ]

Look, I feel really bad for this place and all. [ The sarcasm drips off of every word. ] My heart bleeds, really. But I don't have time for this, I have my own 'battles' to fight.

[ She's Not Pleased, capitalization included. She's frustrated that she's been taken against her will, taken so soon after she had been down and out for so long. The people weren't even clear if her brother was here.

She hopes it's not the Alpha pack. ] Derek, are you here? We need to figure out a plan to get home. I'm not twiddling my thumbs in this place any longer than I have to, this isn't my war to fight.

[ Cora is very adamant about this. She also might be thinking of a way to tell the emperor to sit and spin. ]

Comments

[ She's giving you such a look Derek. ] Yes we are. We're talking about you blaming yourself for him being a cheating sleaze.

[garou]

[ Derek sets his jaw. ] I could have reacted better.

[saviormaiden]

And he could have not done what he did. You're not in the wrong here.

[garou]

A lot of things could have gone differently. We're not discussing this anymore.

[saviormaiden]

[ She rolls her eyes at that. ] Fine, whatever.

[ Cora crosses her arms and goes to sit on a nearby chair, looking rather cross. She suddenly remembered when she was small and would huff when Derek tried to get her to do chores.

It was a little different this time though. ]

[garou]

Knock it off, you're not six anymore.

[ He remembered, too, and it hurts. The wound was getting easier to deal with, but it still hurt, and he wondered if it ever wouldn't. Maybe not. Maybe he'd be stuck with this gaping hole in his heart for the rest of his life. ]

[saviormaiden]

[ She wonders the same. Cora thought her wound had scabbed over, mourning her entire family, but now she had Derek. Sometimes she didn't know what to do with her new reality.

But she rolls her eyes again and sighs, uncrossing her arms and putting her hands on her knees. ] What do you want me to do then?

[garou]

What? [ He looks up at her, brow furrowed. ]

[saviormaiden]

About Stilinski. [ She itches to do something. He upset her big brother, her Alpha. But she knows she really shouldn't just punch in the face. Even though he has a pretty punchable face normally. ]

[garou]

You don't... you don't have to do anything, Cora. It's fine. It's settled.

[saviormaiden]

[ She didn't really believe it, but she doesn't say anything more. Cora just nods and stands up again. ] Anything else happen?

[garou]

If you're asking if anyone else kissed me, the answer is no.

[saviormaiden]

[ Okay, that gets a little laugh from her. She bites her lip and gives him a look. ] Please. One I can buy, but not more than that.

[garou]

[ He should probably be offended by that, and he is, a little. He frowns at her. ] People want to kiss me.

[saviormaiden]

You're my brother, I'm not supposed to think about people kissing you. [ She's still amused. ]

[garou]

You're the one that implied no one would.

[saviormaiden]

So what, you're okay with the thought of people wanting to kiss me?

[garou]

[ INSTANTLY HIS HACKLES ARE RAISED ] Who kissed you!?

[saviormaiden]

[ And she laughs again. ] No one recently. Sadly.

[garou]

Names. Addresses. Now.

[saviormaiden]

[ She's really amused now. ] And you think I reacted too harshly?

[garou]

This is different.

[saviormaiden]

[ Uh huh. ] Not like you'd be able to get a flight to Brazil anyway.

[garou]

Brazil. [ Yeah no he's already calculating flight rates out of San Diego International in his head. ]

[saviormaiden]

And Venezuela. And Argentina. [ She might just be messing with you now, Derek. Who knows~ ]
